My two sons attended the insect investigators summer camp at Riverbend nature center June 15th…read morethrough 19th 2026 before enrolling I specifically inform the camp that one of my sons is autistic and and discuss his needs with staff I was assured that he would be accommodated and supported. During camp my 9-year-old autistic son reported that a male camp counselor roughly handled him and squeezed his shoulder causing him pain my son reported yelling out ow you're hurting me. My 11-year-old son witnessed the interaction first hand. Earlier that same day my 9-year-old son had a painful blister on his foot according to my son the counselor repeatedly and harshly demanded he put his shoe back on throughout the day my son reported that each time he explained that the shoe was hurting his foot no basic first aid assistance or a Band-Aid was ever offered and I was never contacted despite living 7 minutes away. By the end of the day my 9-year-old son told me he had a bad headache that the counselor had been exceptionally hard on him and that he did not want to return to camp and see that staff member again. My 11 year old son also reported being distressed by repeated angry outburst from the same camp counselor and did not want to return to camp the following day I immediately reported my concerns to camp administration and requested that my son's being moved to another group they can't fail to fully reassure me that my children would be safe and protected going forward as a parent I ultimately felt I had no choice but to withdraw both of my sons from the camp to keep them safe. I requested the camps written policies regarding physical contact between camp counselors and campers on four separate occasions and have still not received them. As a parent of a child with autism and as someone who has professional training and safe not forceful guiding techniques for children I am sharing my experience to bring awareness to the situation and to advocate for my son's and other children attending camp here.
